Kia Rio 2016

The 2016 Kia Rio range of configurations is currently priced from $6,999.Our most recent review of the 2016 Kia Rio resulted in a score of 6 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Senior Journalist Richard Berry had this to say at the time: Wait. No seriously wait for the new generation Rio to arrive early next year. I'm not saying this because it'll be prettier, cooler or more fashionable. Car aren't like jeans, it's not about trends, see the new Rio will be safer and smarter. If you can't wait, then go for the Cerato S, it's larger but the value for money at $19,990 makes it the smartest buy on the market right now.

Kia Rio 2016 Q&As

I would think the key should be covered by the warranty, given that it failed. It’s not like it wore out through use, when I wouldn’t expect it to be covered. Contact Kia directly on 1800 600 010 and see if you can negotiate a deal for a free replacement.

An older i30 should be fine, and far better value than a Corolla that everyone chases. You also should check out a more recent Hyundai i20 or Kia Rio. They are smaller but still good cars and would have some factory warranty.

The best time to buy is January, when dealers and car companies are trying to clear all their 2015 stock. Just like northern hemisphere horses, they all get a year older on January 1. A free auto upgrade is one of the typical baits these days, since more than 90 per cent of people buy an auto and companies can offer an effective $1500 value boost.
